INTRODUCTION

Imagination, inspired by touching stories, gives an attractive access to music. It was probably in 1870 that the Russian Composer Modest Mussorgsky met artist and architect Viktor Hartmann and they quickly became friends. Hartmann died in1873. The sudden loss of his friend and artist, shook Mussorgsky. Colleagues organized an exhibition of over 400 Hartmann works in the Academy of Fine Arts in Saint Petersburg in Russia and Mussorgsky viewed the show in person. Fired by the experience, he composed Pictures at an Exhibition in 1874. The music depicts an imaginary tour of an art collection. With the artistic elaboration of these impressions in music, Mussorgsky set his friend an everlasting monument. We follow this artistic transformation of impressive pictures into exceedingly finely nuanced music through a visual visualization that meets the artistic possibilities of modern media in the 21st century. The pianist will play, accompanied by the AME Creative Director Romana Obermair´s unique, especially for AME developed visualization which features real-time drawings of pictures according to the music playing by the pianist. After the concert the children will be encouraged, to paint their
own pictures inspired by the music they will have heard before. After they will show their pictures as a gallery to the audience.

INTRODUCTION

Imagination and reverie is a popular access to music especially for young students. This concert presents musical ideas of the great composers Mozart, Beethoven and Robert Schumann in their fantasies. The students learn the musical form of the fantasy
in the epochs classical and romantic. The focus is on the poetic fantasies of the “Scenes form Childhood” from Robert Schumann, with the famous piece: “Dreaming”. Each piece of this music of this cycle will be illustrated with a characteristic painting
from the Romantic period. The fantasy of Mozart in C minor leads to bold harmony advances and delicate rococo melodies from his time. The famous “Sonata quasi una Fantasia” op. 27/2, known under the name "Moonlight", leads the students through several
visual audio and score examples into the genial construction of this sonata as a free fantasy.

The students will receive appealing handouts with musical questions and can create their own impressions and feelings to the music with spontaneous painting tasks creatively.
